Best Answer

Selling an additional product in a way that makes the comsumer think that you have to buy it this way. For example, when your mortgage provider tells you you should have your house insurance with them, too. Another example is when the company you buy your holiday from tells you you should buy the Travel Insurance from them too. A third example (UK) which is even more exploitation is where the bank tells you you have to pay a penalty for going overdrawn. In the UK the banks have been taken to court for this practice and have been told that this was wrong and they are having to pay back millions of pounds of charges that they have wrongly taken.
